    I worked 11.2 hours yesterday. I usually average 9-10 hours a day and only get paid for 8...go figure. How many hours a day do you work on average?

      I am supposed to be here for 7 hours 24 minutes a day. I am not sure how much of that can be counted as work.

      Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

          I work only what I'm contracted to do. If they want more they have to pay for it. I could not envisage working more than my allotted hours for no recompense; makes no sense: it's win for the employer, lose for you. Try getting a plumber or lawyer to do free overtime!

            I know what you mean. It pains me to think that I spend about 30 minutes a day total on this site, on company time. Yeah it's interspersed throughout the day but still, my company is paying me to bitch, complain, and laugh on some website that most of us have grown to love.

                Usually about 6 - but I only get paid for the hours I work, not for tea breaks lunch breaks, toilet breaks or jsut sitting watching the Alpaca breaks - and I tend to be very honest about the hours I actually am being productive.

                      That's a lot for Italy, how long for lunch? I spent some time working in Italy a few years ago with another English bloke, and he could not get his head around the working over there at all. First day, lunchtime, whole place closes, doors locked, off to a restaurant for a decent meal and a glass or two of wine. He kept asking "What if someone phones" to which they replied "They're at lunch" and so on and so on. I thought it was bloody marvelous.

                            Scheduled to work 8 hours a day, but work about 9. The position is salaried but we are treated like hourly. I must admit that the new IT Directory has helped at making the job more like a salaried position. As noted this subject was discussed a few days back.

                                Mostly it's 8 hours a day that I'm at work. I'm one of the lucky ones. Being in research I can say that I get paid to drink coffee and surf the internet, oh and I write code too. It has been on more than several occasions where I’m digging into some code just centimeters away from finishing the task at hand only to look at the clock and realize I should have left a half hour ago.

                                It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                      How on earth does that happen? I should probably think of moving to Italy :)

                                      Again, it is part time (I suppose there are other countries where it is allowed as well). :)

                                        I worked 11.2 hours yesterday. I usually average 9-10 hours a day and only get paid for 8...go figure. How many hours a day do you work on average?

                                        Had a place once that tried to tell me they require 10 hours per day but only pay for 8. Worse yet, the manager said my family life was a conflict of interest for me working longer. I told them to go to hell.

                                          'Work' or 'Be There'? There is a difference you know.
